LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- It's "Say Go College" time again!

For the fifth year, the Arkansas Department of Higher Education has hosted a week long campaign geared at informing, engaging and preparing high school students for post-secondary education.

Each day of Say Go College Week is devoted to a special theme/activity (occurring in some 300 schools throughout the state) that promotes the steps to obtaining a college education and its benefits. The week's festivities will conclude with College Goal Sunday, a free event occurring at more than 30 locations, where students and families can take the first critical steps in pursuing a college education- applying for financial aid.

For more information about Say Go College Week, including a list of the week's activities, College Goal Sunday sites and additional resources, visit www.SayGoCollege.com.
